Draw a map of the neighborhood with your child. Mark safe places children can go if they are followed by a stranger and need help. Those places can include schools, libraries, day care centers, police or fire stations, or the homes of neighbors known to your family.

Purchase an identification kit, such as McGruff Safe Kids Identification Kit. A fun way to family safety, the McGruff Safe Kids ID Kit includes a personal record card with child-safe fingerprint ink, which is applied using a unique proprietary process, and a 12-page guidebook that has been proven to help kids learn how to be safe on the streets. This publication also includes Internet safety information.
